The activity involved 155 students, as well as teachers and non-teaching staff.

In Almofrela, they attended workshops offered by the Humanitarian Associations of the Volunteer Firefighters of Baião and Santa Marinha do Zêzere and planted 120 trees.

At the Equestrian Center, they played several traditional games and developed painting activities, in addition to visiting the facilities and interacting with the animals.

There was also the opportunity to have fun with radical activities such as slide, rappel, climbing and tree climbing.
